Rename the "Repeat Until <>" C Block
It is my personal opinion that the “Repeat Until” C Block is incorrectly named. Instead, it should be called “While <> Do”, because in almost every other coding language, that is what it is. It wouldn't change the functionality of the block, though.
If this turns out to be rejected, I understand.

Please explain your suggestion instead of just saying “c”
No support, the repeat until <> block is a very useful block and has no good workaround.

Somehow I accidentally posted it before I was done writing. Please reread the post.

Actually, this is not what it does.
“While” is the opposite of “Repeat until.”
There's even a separate while block, although it is only implemented internally and can't be added through the editor.
This is what while would actually be:

But the current name better explains the purpose of the block to beginners.

Repeat until is exactly what it does, and I can't think of a simpler way to say it.

What you are suggesting has 2 easy workarounds. You could use an if statement, or
No support.
And a while loop is the opposite of repeat until.
No support.

no support. in most coding languages the code
while <> do
repeats until said condition is not met, it can be whatever condition
so forever loops are just
while true do
repeat until repeats the condition is met.
